Food Guide                                                                                         Find Your Favorite Fair Food

For many folks, the Fair means food. Lots of food. They will not be disappointed in the 2008 L.A. County Fair line-up of incredible edibles. For barbecue lovers, Juicy’s biggest, baddest mobile barbecue grill, dubbed "The Outlaw Grill," will roll into the Fair. The behemoth grill is 83 feet long bumper to bumper and can cook 1,500 turkey legs at once. The 5-foot-wide grill also will serve up half-pound burgers, brisket and pulled pork sandwiches and giant onion rings.

Fair icon Chicken Charlie, known for his “broasted” chicken recipe, has been hard at work creating new deep-fried specialties for this year’s Fair. Deep-fried White Castle burgers and deep-fried SPAM® with pineapple will join Charlie’s other quirky food combos.

Two sweet treats are coming to the Fair for the first time. The Colossal Gelato is a full pint of creamy gelato ice cream in a 16-inch waffle cone. Choose from such delicious flavors as Da Vinci tiramisu and Sicilian pistachio. Look for CBS Cupcakes in its distinctive white, black and pink trailer. Enjoy muffin-size vanilla, chocolate and Red Velvet cupcakes with customized frosting and toppings of your choosing.

We’ll have all the Fair favorites, of course: cotton candy, hot dogs, 11-inch funnel cakes – another Juicy’s feature – and ice cream, along with specially priced meals for the kiddies that include a main dish, beverage and toy in a Fair collector’s box.

Hussong's Cantina and Taqueria
And speaking of margaritas, back to the Fair this year is the world-famous Hussong’s Cantina – thought to be the home of the original margarita.  Hussong’s will be bringing the spirit of Baja California to our Home & Gardens neighborhood, where Fairguests can sample authentic specialties that have made this Ensenada bar an institution.  You won’t have to travel south of the border to relax with fine drinks and the best in live entertainment – it’s all right here at the L.A. County Fair!
